Ocean Institute's Jazz in January

We made the centerpieces for the Ocean Institute's Jazz in January concert this weekend at the institute in Dana Point Harbor. The colors turned out perfect for the gold table clothes! The event promises to be a spectacular evening of Jazz. And the money raised helps the Ocean Institute to offer educational programs to the schools!

The Ocean Institute all ready for the concert




During the afternoon- the flowers look a little alone on the tables- but just wait!


They look great with the room all set up and ready for the fun to begin!

Upcoming Wedding Event!

We will be at the Dana Point Yacht Club on Feb 28th for their Brial Boutique "Romance on the Water". Check out their website at http://events.dpyc.org/. We will be sure to add photos just as soon as we have them. We will have a large display area! So it should be exciting! If you follow our blog and attend, be sure to stop by and say "hi" to Cathy or Kristine!

Marbella Country Club Wedding Show

We were thrilled to be at the beautiful Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano for their wedding show this weekend. We met some wonderful brides to be- and even a few grooms to be (poor guys- but they seemed to be handling it well!) and we made some good wedding coordinator connections. Our next Wedding Show will be after Valentine's Day at the Dana Point Yacht Club- more details to come.

The hot trend- Manzanita trees draped with votives or crystals, or both.


The hot topic of the show! This little anemone flower got more comments than anything. Yes it's real and it is another hot trendy flower right now. We put them together with some crystals for simple inexpensive centerpieces for the reception table.


Another great inexpensive centerpiece that is very popular.

Just Added- a Facebook Fan Page!

For all you Facebook lovers out there! We just added a Facebook Fan page. Search for McCool Flowers or follow the link- Facebook Fan Page.

We can't wait to see what happens! There are so many cool ways to let you guys know what is going on!

A Quick Tour of the Shop!

I thought it would be fun to post up a few photos of the inside of the store!



Just part of our great selection of flowers. Did you know McCool flowers specializes in long lasting flowers? Sure, you can buy flowers at the grocery store, but they are not babied like ours are! We start by selecting the freshest flowers for the flower mart. Then we use as special cutting technique that makes the flowers soak up more water- making them last longer. But we don't use just regular water! All our flowers are kept in special "flower food" water that nourishes them- again, making them last longer.

Frames and just some of our beachy fun stuff for the house!


Our selection of garden baskets, blooming plants and orchids. This is an ever changing section! Right now we have lots of cute spring baskets with violets and stunning purple phalaenopsis orchids!
